Raiders fire special teams coordinator Tom McMahon

Fri Nov 7 5:31pm ET
Field Level Media

The Las Vegas Raiders fired special teams coordinator Tom McMahon, the team announced Friday afternoon.

It would appear Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Denver Broncos was the final straw for McMahon, who has been in that role with the Raiders since 2022, two head coaches ago.

In that narrow loss, punter AJ Cole had a punt blocked for the second time this season, setting up what became the game-winning field goal for Denver. Las Vegas kicker Daniel Carlson missed a would-be game-tying field goal with 4:26 left.

A missed extra point the week prior in the overtime loss to Jacksonville and a blocked field goal in the Raiders' 25-24 loss to Chicago on Sept. 28 also loom large as special teams problems that have played a role in the team's 2-7 record.

"Earlier today, we made the tough decision to relieve Tom McMahon of his duties as special teams coordinator," coach Pete Carroll said in a statement. "I have a great amount of respect for Tom and the work that has done in this league, but we have decided to move in a different direction. Derius Swinton II will assume special teams coordinator duties for the second half of this season with outstanding intent and purpose.

"We are grateful for Tom and his work here with the Raiders and wish him nothing but the best moving forward."

McMahon has been consistently working as a special teams coach in the NFL since he was the assistant special teams coach for the Atlanta Falcons in 2007-08. He's since served as the ST coordinator for the St. Louis Rams (2009-11), Kansas City Chiefs (2012), Indianapolis Colts (2013-17) and Broncos (2018-21) before landing in Las Vegas.

Starts, Sits, Sleepers: Week 10

Player Notes
Greg Dortch Nov 8 6:30pm ET
Greg Dortch

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch has been a non-factor on offense throughout most of the season. Last week, Dortch wasn't targeted at all during their win over the Dallas Cowboys. He rushed the ball once, but hasn't finished with more than 10 receiving yards in a single game since Week 5. It's tough to imagine Dortch having much success right now given his place on the depth chart. The 27-year-old won't be a viable option for Week 10 with a majority of the Cardinals wideouts healthy.

Chad Ryland Nov 8 6:30pm ET
Chad Ryland

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland has been a sneaky solid option over the last few weeks. In fact, Ryland hasn't missed a kick since missing a 57-yard try against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3. The 26-year-old has made five kicks in each of his last three games. Ryland is flying under the radar right now, but has been one of the more consistent kickers in the league this season. He's not a top option at his position, but is well worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers seeking a kicker for Week 10.

Younghoe Koo Nov 8 6:20pm ET
Younghoe Koo

New York Giants kicker Younghoe Koo has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Koo will take over the kicking duties this weekend for Graham Gano (neck) who has been ruled out for this game. Koo hasn't kicked since being released by the Atlanta Falcons following their Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Koo missed a late-game field goal and was released afterwards. The 31-year-old has a 85.8 field goal percentage throughout his NFL career. He figures to be a viable option for the Giants while Gano is out.

Zach Ertz Nov 8 5:50pm ET
Zach Ertz

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has had an underwhelming year in his 13th season in the league, catching 31 of his 44 targets for 291 yards and four touchdowns in nine games. Ertz has dropped more passes and had procedural penalties than you would expect from a veteran player, but it's been that kind of season for Washington. The 34-year-old tight end is still a capable threat in the red zone and on third downs, but he offers zero ability after the catch. Ertz has seen a slight drop off in production with Marcus Mariota as the starter compared to Jayden Daniels (elbow), who will miss an extended period of time. In Daniels' five starts, Ertz has recorded 22 catches for 216 yards and all four of his touchdowns on 30 targets, compared to nine catches, 75 yards, and no touchdowns on 13 targets in Mariota's three starts. Ertz is ranked as RotoBaller's TE14 in PPR leagues for Week 10 against the Lions.

Matt Gay Nov 8 5:50pm ET
Matt Gay

Washington Commanders kicker Matt Gay has been mediocre this season, making 10 of his 14 field goal attempts and nailing all 20 extra points. Gay has struggled from attempts north of 50 yards for his career, and that's continued this season, with three of his four misses coming from attempts 50 yards or longer. The 31-year-old's 71.4% field goal percentage ranks 30th in the league out of 33 qualified kickers, well below the league average of 83.6%. Gay could be a decent option in Week 10 versus the Lions in one of the highest projected games of the week, but Washington's offense also has less juice with starting quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) out for multiple weeks.

Treylon Burks Nov 8 5:40pm ET
Treylon Burks

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks made his team debut in Week 9's blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks, catching his lone target for 14 yards. The former first-rounder in 2022 signed to Washington's practice squad in mid-October and was forced into more playing time than expected in his first game after fellow wideout Luke McCaffrey injured his shoulder on the opening kickoff. Burks played 50.8% of Washington's offensive snaps last week and will likely see an expanded role in Week 10 against Detroit. The 25-year-old is a talented player with good size, speed, and YAC ability, but has battled multiple injuries so far in his young career. There is plenty of opportunity for him to emerge in Washington with a lack of established pass catchers. Burks has some appeal in deep formats in a favorable Week 10 matchup against a Lions defense that has allowed the sixth most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.

Christian Watson Nov 8 5:30pm ET
Christian Watson

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson could move up in the pecking order for targets as the Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. With the knee injury to tight end Tucker Kraft that ended his season, Watson could be the biggest beneficiary of Kraft being out of the lineup. Watson has four targets in each of his two games since returning from an ACL injury in Week 18 last year, but his workload has ramped up from 65% of routes per dropback in Week 8 to 75% in Week 9. With the litany of injuries surrounding the Packers' pass-catchers, somebody other than Romeo Doubs will have to take the initiative and earn more targets in this offense. With Watson now healthy, he seems like the best bet for that job right now for Green Bay. With the Packers hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10, consider Watson a flex option for fantasy, with the potential for much more.

Luke Musgrave Nov 8 5:30pm ET
Luke Musgrave

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave has a big opportunity on deck as Green Bay hosts the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. With Tucker Kraft's knee injury ending his season, Musgrave becomes the next man up. While we can't expect Kraft's previous production to all go to Musgrave moving forward, he does have some route-based upside. Musgrave should run most of the tight end routes for the Packers, with only John FitzPatrick and former Tennessee Titan Josh Whyle recently promoted to the Packers' active roster. Realistically, it's likely that Musgrave mixes in with the rest of the pass-catchers in Green Bay rather than take charge as a preferred target for quarterback Jordan Love. In the Packers' Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, Musgrave is just a low-end streamer for fantasy purposes.

Brandon McManus Nov 8 5:30pm ET
Brandon McManus

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus has put together a string of full practices this week and was removed from the team's injury report before the Packers' game with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. Since returning in Week 8 from a two-game absence, McManus has made just 4-of-7 field goal attempts but has made all four of his extra point attempts. The Packers have been a very volatile offense in terms of week-to-week consistency, but Green Bay losing tight end Tucker Kraft to a season-ending injury definitely wipes out some of the Packers' offensive firepower. In Week 10 against the Eagles, McManus is, at best, a low-end start for fantasy on Monday Night Football.

From RotoBaller

Josh Jacobs Nov 8 5:20pm ET
Josh Jacobs

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (not injury-related) is off this week's injury report and good to go as the Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. Jacobs has been scoring touchdowns at will this season, with eight touchdowns in his last five games. That touchdown volume has helped buoy some of Jacobs' lack of efficiency on a per-rush basis this season. He's been a top-20 fantasy running back every week this season but Week 2, where he was RB21. Jacobs has been a bit banged up lately with a nagging calf injury, but that hasn't stopped him from playing. His workload has been a bit more managed with backups Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks seeing some touches in recent weeks, but as long as Jacobs is getting the red-zone touches, everything is great. It's a tough matchup at home against the Eagles' defensive front, but lock in Jacobs as an RB1 this week.

From RotoBaller

Emanuel Wilson Nov 8 5:20pm ET
Emanuel Wilson

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has seen his involvement in the Packers' offense rise in recent weeks, but he is still a depth piece when the Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. Wilson has averaged over seven carries per game in the last three weeks, helping manage Josh Jacobs' workload as he plays through a calf injury that's had him on the injury report over the last several weeks. With that involvement, Wilson's role is clear as a fantasy handcuff in case Jacobs can't suit up for a game. On Monday Night Football in Week 10, Wilson is merely a bench stash and not a startable option for Green Bay's showdown with the Eagles.

From RotoBaller

Romeo Doubs Nov 8 5:20pm ET
Romeo Doubs

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs is set at the top of Green Bay's pass-catching hierarchy and will look to keep producing as the Packers face the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football in Week 10. Since Week 4, Doubs has cemented his spot as the top wide receiver target for the Packers. In the last five games, Doubs has averaged 8.2 targets, 5.4 receptions, and 64 receiving yards per game. He's provided much-needed consistency for the Packers this season and has become a solid fantasy WR3 or high-end flex play. Now, with Tucker Kraft's season-ending knee injury, Doubs will be relied on even more as the unquestioned top target for the Packers. At the very least, Doubs keeps his consistent production going, but if he adds some more looks without Kraft, then he can further solidify that fantasy floor. With double-digit fantasy points in four of his last five games, Doubs should be a fantasy WR3 in a tough matchup against the Eagles in Week 10.

TreVeyon Henderson Nov 8 5:20pm ET
TreVeyon Henderson

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is on track to earn his second consecutive start during Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) sidelined, Henderson will operate as the primary option out of the backfield while Terrell Jennings also gets involved. The rookie handled 75 percent of the offensive snaps in a similar backfield dynamic last week, tallying 14 carries, 55 rushing yards, four catches, and 32 receiving yards against the Falcons. Atlanta's run defense ranks similarly to the Buccaneers in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs, with a key distinction being that Tampa gives up more receiving yards to the position while Atlanta surrenders more rushing yards. Thus, Henderson has a chance to accumulate some extra points in PPR leagues if he can continue to carve out a role in the receiving game. He ranks as a low-end RB2 once again this week.

Dontayvion Wicks Nov 8 5:10pm ET
Dontayvion Wicks

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wicks was a limited participant in every day of practice this week, which is a positive sign considering he hasn't practiced in roughly three weeks. The 24-year-old has missed the last two games, but is trending in the right direction to play in Week 10 against the Eagles. Wicks could see more opportunities behind Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson if rookie Matthew Golden (shoulder) is unable to play. Wicks has played a reduced role in six games this season, catching 13 of his 20 targets for 134 yards and no touchdowns.

Jordan Love Nov 8 5:10pm ET
Jordan Love

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has had some spike weeks, but his overall fantasy production has disappointed. Love looks to right the ship this week in a tough matchup at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. After Week 8 when Love was the overall QB1 and scored 28.3 fantasy points, he followed that up with a dud game in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers. Love was 26-of-37 for 273 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. His 10 fantasy points were his worst fantasy production of the season, and it doesn't get any easier against the Eagles. Philadelphia allows the fourth-fewest touchdown passes as well as the ninth-lowest yards per attempt this season to quarterbacks. Consider Love a low-end streaming fantasy quarterback in Week 10.

Tetairoa McMillan Nov 8 5:00pm ET
Tetairoa McMillan

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is trending towards playing on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. The Panthers brought up wide receiver Dan Chisena from their practice squad, but it could say more about Brycen Tremayne's availability to play in Week 10 than McMillan. The rookie wideout's status will become clearer as we get closer to kickoff on Sunday, but the expectation as of now is that McMillan will be good to go. The rookie first-rounder has been the engine of Carolina's passing game this season, catching 41 of his 69 targets for 558 yards and two touchdowns in nine games. His production has slid a bit recently as the Panthers have trended more run-heavy, but McMillan still projects as an upside WR2 if he can play in Week 10 versus the Saints.

Drake Maye Nov 8 4:50pm ET
Drake Maye

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye will be tasked with facing a strong Tampa Bay Buccaneers team on Sunday in Week 10. The second-year signal caller has 10 touchdowns and three turnovers over his last four games, and he ranks as the overall QB3 after a spectacular first half of the season. However, he has played against some softer defenses, so Sunday against the Bucs will be a better test of his strengths and weaknesses. It could also offer some clarity in an MVP race that features Maye and Baker Mayfield. Maye certainly has some things to clean up after turning the ball over twice in last week's 24-23 win over the Falcons. He'll also look for his offensive line's help to keep him upright, as he has taken 16 sacks over his last three games. He continues to rank as a strong fantasy QB1 option despite Tampa Bay allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. His rushing ability could work in his favor as the Bucs have surrendered the seventh-most rushing yards to quarterbacks.

Matthew Golden Nov 8 4:50pm ET
Matthew Golden

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Monday night's matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Weston Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Packers. Golden missed practice for the second straight day on Saturday after being a limited participant on Thursday. The rookie first-rounder did warm up with the team on both Thursday and Friday, for what it's worth, but didn't practice for either session. Golden picked up the shoulder injury during Green Bay's Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Head coach Matt LaFleur said Saturday that Golden didn't suffer any setback with the injury and is "fighting to play," but his status is very much in question heading into Monday night. If Golden can play, he'd still be a risky fantasy option as the third target behind Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson.

A.J. Brown Nov 8 4:30pm ET
A.J. Brown

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is off the final injury report ahead of Monday night's primetime matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Brown missed Philadelphia's Week 8 win over the New York Giants due to the hamstring injury, but had the Week 9 bye to rest and practiced in full every day this week. The star wideout posted his best game of the season last time he suited up in Week 7 against the Minnesota Vikings, catching four of his six targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns. That marked Brown's first two-touchdown game since Week 8 of the 2023 season. The 28-year-old has had a disappointing season to date, but could be in for a big second half as Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' passing game have gotten rolling. Brown ranks as RotoBaller's WR9 in PPR leagues for Monday night against the Packers.

Saquon Barkley Nov 8 4:20pm ET
Saquon Barkley

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) is off the final injury report and is set to play on Monday night against the Green Bay Packers, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Barkley practiced in full every day this week after tweaking his groin during the Eagles' Week 8 win over the New York Giants, but had the bye week to recover and won't miss any time to the injury. Fantasy managers can exhale with the positive news regarding the Eagles' star running back, who is coming off easily his best performance of the season, rushing for 150 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries and adding four catches (five targets) for 24 yards as a receiver. Barkley will look to build on the strong performance in Week 10 against a Green Bay Packers defense that has struggled to defend the run since their Week 5 bye, ranking 25th in rushing success rate. Barkley is a rock-solid RB1 for Monday Night Football.
